Theodora Sideratou

I was born in Athens on the 15th March 1980.

I attended the Scientific High School "Arsakeio" in Athens, where I graduated on July 1997.

On September 1998 I came in Italy in order to enroll in the Degree Course of Biology at the University of Bologna.

I deeply love the sea, andthe animals and nature in general. Satisfying my great passion for research, thanks to the MSG studies on mediterranean solitary corals, actually I work on reproductive and population genetics of Balanophyllia europaea, with a DNA extraction and DNA-microsatellite isolation technic.

During the last years I had some work experience in different sectors. First of all the enviroment: on 1997 I partecipated in a program for protection of the sea turtle Careta careta in Zante and in summer 2002 I have assisted to the realization of a protection plan for rare birds on the island of Eghina.

 In Athens, in the public relations field, I worked for the publishing “Proskinio and for the film production company “Angelos Sideratos”. In Italy I worked for some companies of services during events in Milan, Rome and Bologna.

  Foreign languages: except of course the Greek language, I speek fluently Italian and English (diploma “First Certificate of Cambridge” ), while German at school level.

  Curious and determinated, I love to experiment myself in new actitivities.

 I begun the course of Open Water Diver SSI at Bologna Scuba Team and the course of  ECDL, European Computer Driving Licence.
